INDUSTRY ISSUED BY NEW APPOINTEE| Col. Arthur Woods Begins Work of Finding Jobs for Unem- ployed Citizens CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT First Step to Set Up Organiza- tion and Try to Learn Where Jobs Are Washington, Oct. 23—(7)—A call to American industry to cooperate in the alleviation of suffering am unemployed this winter was soun today by Col. Arthur Woods, Presi- dent Hoover's relief director, after a conference at the white house. Colonel Woods, who arrived last; night to take charge of setting up a relief organization, conferred for an hour with the president, Secretary Lamont, Secretary Hurley, and Un- Ger-Secretary Mills of the treasury. After the conference, Woods indi- cated a formal request to industry to cooperate in giving as many jobs as Possible would be made soon. The conferees said the first defi- nite step would be to set up an or- ganization for Woods and then to ob- tain dnformation on where jobs can be found. i ‘They said they would draft men qualified for the work from all over the country and, if possible, would obtain those men who worked with Col. Woods in his unemployment re- Wef work in 1921 under President Col. Woods said thus far industry was .doing-its part, but that he exe, ‘pected: more cooperation in the gener- al campaign. “I not only expect industry to do its part,” he said, “but I see that it is already doing so.” Headquarters for the administra- tor of unemployment relief will be set up in the commerce department. Members of the president's cabinet unemployment committee of seven planned to lend every effort to get the organization functioning within the shortest time possible. Col. Woods is a bronzed, gray-hair- ed man with a flashing smile and a keen sense of humor. Twice before, the World war flier and holder of the nation’s distin- guished service medal had been calied into service to relieve unemployment. Hurrying to the white house just 24 hours after he had accepted the Post as a dollar-a-year man, he was met by a battery of newspaper men. “This looks natural,” he said, with one of his ready smiles. Alleviating the suffering from un- employment is principally proposition, as he sees it, with the major activity of the government ly- ing in the coordination of these sec- tional efforts. An organization simi- lar/to that built in 1921 with adap- tions to changing conditions is Planned by him. And through this Program, he is confident, jobs will be (Continues on page eleven) Former Bismarck Man Dies After Operation William L. Parsons, Mason City, . | Iowa, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. L. M.

Timbo is a railroad center about 100 miles from Bahia, third largest city of Brazil, and the insurgent advices claimed the federal defection opened the way for their advance directly in- to Bahai on the railroad line between the two cities. * It was presumed here the army of Captain Juarez Tavora cannot be far from Timbo if it has not already reached this point in its advance down the coast toward Bahia, or Sao Rio Taguary, The effect would have been to cut the line of communication of the in- surgent vanguard which has advanced beyond Itarare into Sao Paulo, and to have stranded it north of the river without means of getting supplies. There was a new element occasion- ing some surprise in the rebel state- ments today. This was that a con- -| siderable quantity pf war material had been captured at Ponta Grossa. ‘Ponta Grossa is just west of Curityba and far within a territory which here- tofore had been regarded as exclu- sively occupied by rebels.

That ‘Every Dog Is En- titled to One Bite’ Minneapolis, Oct. 23—(7)—A Min- neapolis business man today toid how he took the law into his own hands became his own detective and police force, captured a bandit who robbed him of $1,125, then named himself judge, jury and prosecuting attorney, “tried” the robber, found him guilty and sentenced him to pay a fine of $1 a day for more than three years. And he will recover the entire amount lost in the holdup — through the dollar-a-day fine. Andrew Drew, investment and real estate man, was on his way home after closing a business deal the night of September 4, carrying $1,125, when out of the shadow of a neighbor's garage stepped a tall, dark man, a black automatic in his hand. He took Drew's $1,125. Dissatisfied with the efforts of the police to find the robber, Drew vurned detective. In the back of his mind was the picture of the tall, dark man seen some place before, perhaps in the lobby of a Minneapolis hotel. For the past month the lobbies of ‘Minneapolis hotels have been haunt- ed by the stocky, determined invest- ment man, intent on recovering his “principal.” The big day finally came.

Laughlin ended her life in a field of their farm, six miles north of Wilton and two miles west, between 11 and 12 o'clock Tuesday Parties of farmers seeking her aft- er she had been missing 12 hours, found the body shortly after noon Wednesday, a quarter mile from the house. There was a wound in her left breast and in her back, a bullet from a 22-calibre rifle having passed completely through the body. Beside the woman lay the rifle, a flashlight and two bullets. The rifle had been bought Monday in Wilton. Coroner E, C. Stucke, Garrison, said it was a clear case of suicide and called no inquest.

Funeral services for Mrs. Laughlin were held this afternoon at the farm home. Interment was made in Wil- ton cemetery. +. New Plunge Record | Is Set by Workman ° Sydney, N. 8.
